Usu Beauty Food - Eight Pieces of Chicken

Gao Minghua

　　If someone asks me, which kind of cuisine can be the representative of The Ursu specialty cuisine? I wouldn't hesitate to tell him "Man's Eight Chickens". Eating eight chickens in Usu is a rare treat. Because it first attracts your eyes with a very seductive color, hangs your appetite with a pungent aroma, and then satisfies your needs with delicious food. People are full of praise after tasting this chicken, saying that only when they eat this kind of food can they enjoy its unique, tendonic aroma, and the unique taste is irreplaceable by any other method of cooking chicken.

　　I remember that at that time, a friend introduced: Eighty-four townships opened a new "eight chicken" shop, and I ran towards the "eight chicken" shop with my friends with my childlike curiosity. Walking along, a seductive aroma wafted in, look up, the red fire is burning, the big iron pot is simmering purple chickens, the chef will fish out the chickens, wait for the cool, remove the head, claws, cut into 8 pieces (2 legs, 2 wings, 4 pieces of chicken body) into a large plate, sprinkled with chives, coriander, red and green peppers, etc., handed to the hands of customers who have been waiting in the store.

　　I heard that eating "eight pieces of chicken" had to be reserved in advance, and it was good that the owner made two more that day, and we had to eat it late. When the "eight pieces of chicken" are on the table, just look at the red, white, green, sauce red and other colors, it is pleasing to the eye; when eaten in the mouth, the meat texture is refreshing, oily but not greasy, with a clear aroma and a strong local atmosphere, the taste is pure and unique, shiny and fresh, the aroma is overflowing, the nose is full of nose, and it is refreshing.

　　Man's eight pieces of chicken pay attention to "thick but not fishy, moderate hemp taste, spicy but not spicy, taste and long", forming a "meat tendon road with chewy head, chicken taste delicious and nutritious" characteristic flavor, deeply loved by tourists, in 2008 by the Autonomous Region Culinary Association identified as "Xinjiang Famous Cuisine".

　　Xiao Man, the owner of the "Man's Eight Chickens", said: The production method of the eight chickens is exquisite and time-consuming. First of all, we must choose good ingredients, to select more than two kilograms of natural chicken, after slaughtering to remove the internal organs, wash it repeatedly with water, and then use the appropriate amount of edible salt, ginger powder, pepper powder and other spices to apply it to the chicken again, make it flavorful, marinate overnight, take it out and dry it the next day and boil it with water, wait for seven mature to dry and then put it into the frying pan to fry, fry it into oil bright and golden brown, and simmer it in an iron pot; simmer it over low heat until the chicken is off the bone, then it can come out of the pot.

　　"Man's eight pieces of chicken" eating method is also exquisite, began to eat with chopsticks clips, and then put on plastic gloves to take the chicken leg to nibble, so as to eat the delicious and luxurious chicken. It uses unique craftsmanship to become a special food with the same name as "large plate chicken", "pepper chicken" and "fragrant crispy chicken", which is rich in nutrition and good color and flavor. However, the "Eight Piece Chicken" changed the hemp, spicy and sour of the "big plate chicken" to "mild" moderately, which is more in line with the new concept of environmental protection, hygiene and health advocated at present.

　　As the saying goes: one side of the water and soil to support the other side of the people. The Wusu people have simply achieved chicken to the extreme, not only with many methods and rich varieties, but also with local cultural atmosphere. Take my favorite "eight chickens", which can be described as a long history and a torch, which has a history of nearly 100 years. According to historical records: In 1949, Master Song's family lived in Xiaodongliang, Dihua (now the area of Heping South Road in Wusu City). Every day when it was almost noon, he picked up the burden and picked the oily yellow and shiny pepper chicken to be sold at the fixed point of the Fortuna Building, and he carefully separated the thighs and breasts of each chicken from the middle into two pieces, which are called the four large pieces. The two chicken wings, neck and tail are four small pieces, and each chicken is divided into eight pieces. And with a large porcelain pot simmering half a pot of brine soup, there is a coal fire under the basin in winter, when the brine soup is hot, far away on the aroma; summer can also eat cold, chicken size and price are different, for customers to choose.

　　In the century-old heritage, Wusu cuisine has been integrated into the culture and spirit of Wusu people. Simplicity, kindness, enthusiasm and openness are the temperament and soul of most Usu people. Therefore, it is a good enjoyment to taste Wusu cuisine, drink Wusu beer, taste its vitality and charm, and feel the culture and style of Wusu cuisine in Wusu. It can be said that a piece of chicken is in the mouth, and half a usu is in the chest. The so-called "sycamore leaves and the world knows autumn", although things are different, the Tao is the same.

　　I sincerely hope that wusu cuisine "Man's eight chickens" can develop and grow better and faster, go out of Wusu, open up a larger and larger consumer market, create a bigger, stronger, more attractive and competitive brand, create a rapidly changing cuisine, and contribute to society.
